The uninsured driver attempted to quickly insure his car after being stopped. However, he had already committed the crime.

This led to the vehicle being seized for being used while uninsured, and the driver was reported for using the uninsured car.

The driver was also handed a year long Section 59 warning, for driving in an anti-social manner and causing alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public.
